Spectroscopy Spotlight
Although laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) potentially can be used for practically any kind of sample, most applications have focused on solid sample analysis. Montserrat Hidalgo, a professor in the Department of Analytical Chemistry and Food Sciences and the University Institute of Materials at the University of Alicante in Alicante, Spain, has been working with various approaches to extend the applicability of LIBS to trace-elemental analysis of liquid samples. She recently spoke to us about this research. read more

PIKE Technologies’ new External Integrating Sphere utilizes the external beam of the spectrometer to produce precise reflectivity measurements. Its design accommodates extra-large and small samples. Internal optics focus the IR beam into a 4-inch diffuse gold-plated integrating sphere. The accessory is used for studying reflectance properties of solids, analyzing light scattering of highly absorbing samples and collecting spectra difficult to obtain with standard sampling techniques.

Interest in connecting ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) to GC and especially to LC is now growing. One favorable property of IMS is that it can work with ambient pressure and can be easily connected to a gas or liquid chromatograph. Analytical applications of GC–MS and LC–MS are very different and encompass investigations into food, medical science, environment, drugs of abuse, chemical warfare agents, and explosives. read more
